Hi

You could do something like

when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/live"}{
		pool pool_live
	} elseif {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/test"}{
		pool pool_test
	}
}

Im sorry to move the goalposts but my brief has changed to the following now:

 

we have one VIP that hostname site.abc.com resolves to, if user visits https://site.abc.com/live it should redirect to pool "pool_live" changing the ur toi "/live_site". If user visits https://site.abc.com/test it should redirect to pool "pool_test" changing the uri to /test_site.

 

Is this achievable?

    Hi cymru81,

    iRule:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "site.abc.com" } {
		switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
			"/live" {
				HTTP::uri "/live_site"
				pool pool_live
			}
			"/test" {
				HTTP::uri "/test_site"
				pool pool_test
			}
		}
	}
}

    iRule with redirect:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "site.abc.com" } {
		switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
			"/live" {
				HTTP::redirect "https://site.abc.com/live_site"
				pool pool_live
			}
			"/test" {
				HTTP::redirect "https://site.abc.com/test_site"
				pool pool_test
			}
		}
	}
}

     If the HTTP::host is not site.abc.com, you can reject requests.
